The U.S. Army Marching Band, which is comprised of 125 of the nation's finest young musicians and color guard members, will perform at half-time.

Selection as a U.S. Army All-American is an important and prestigious honor for these athletes and musicians.

Kendall Fuller:
Coming in we all thought it was going to be kind of nice, but got there and it was kind of chilly, raining for the rest of the week. So we just got to fight it.

Kendall Fuller:
We have a great group of guys, very outgoing, funny. But once we get on the field, we know how to cut the attitude out and go to work. All of us know that we have to play for the guy next to us. Each and every play we have to go hard.

Greg Webb:
I'm excited to show, not just the people of America, but the people of the Army. Because my connections, like my mom, make them proud but I also the Soldiers that I met here, Sgt Valarezo I want to make him proud too. I want to show them I'm not just all hype.

Bob Beatty:
I've seen some very positive things come out practice and they're togetherness and just hope that it relates to the game on Saturday and hope that they're standing up on that stage in the middle of that Alamo Dome afterwards whooping and hollering with streamer coming down.

Greg Webb:
For the game you have that excitement almost all football player have it and if you don't have it, then it's not natural to you.

Kendall Fuller:
Got our mindset to win so I think we're very well prepared.

It's just a sweet feeling because you know you'll never have that time again with people but you built bonds so fast but I'm also ready for this game tomorrow. We're ready to play.
